Some French Taxes.

Every railroad ticket sold in France
adds a penny to the cost to meet a govern
ment tax. Two sous among q people
habitually frugal is in itself a tax every
time they ride from the city to the sub
urbs, or from the capital to a PROVENCE.
But the French really taught Europe
financial honesty in dealing with a pub
lie creditor, and 1t has become tradi-
tional with that country not to permit re-
volutions in the form Of the government
to embarrass the public credit. The huge
sums of money spent by Napoleon the
last, to employ voters and promote an
evanescent industry, are all being con-
sidered by the French of the present day
when they pay their taxes. AS to the
French army, IL seems to be sustained by
the populace even more than by the pub
lie men, although the populace get few or
NONE OF the honors of the army, and must
go in the ranks.-Gath in Cincinnati En-.

nobody knows what Mackay is doing OF
what he intends to do. Although he has

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE
NEVARA BANK.

The SENTINEL has private advices that
some important changes took place yes
terday in the management and control
of the Nevada Bank at San Francisco.
The old managers step down and out,
and James G. Fair and his friends 60 to
the front. As organized before, j. G..
Flood was President; J.. w. Mackay,
Vice President, and Brannon, Cashier.
All of these resigned and were immedi-
ately succeeded by James g. Fair as
President, and John F. Bigelow as Vice
President. The name of the new cash.
Ter has not transpired, but he is no doubt
a man in close communion with the new
management.
These changes would seem to indicate
that the recent rumors of heavy losses
by the Nevada Bank in the wheat deal
were well founded. The newspapers
alleged that it lost anywhere from six to
ten millions. But there is another view
that may be assumed as leading to the
change. Flood is known to be in de.
clining health and he may possibly have
concluded to retire from active business,
and for this reason disposed Of his in.
terest to Fair. In that case Mackay
would doubtless have sold also, as he
and Fair have been the bitterest OF enc
mics for several years past.
Fair has had right along more ready
money than any of the rest of the Old
Bonanza firm. His investments were
more fortunate and he managed to keep
his means closer in hand. He was virtu.
ally forced out of the bank two or three
years ago by Flood and Mackay. 1t ia
among the possibilities that he has been
playing a deep game to corner his old
partners since that time. Fair has any
amount of money.making ability, if
lacking in other directions. Whether
he scooped Flood and Mackay by deep
laid schemes or whether they became
involved through ill-advised speculations
of their own creation and were thus
compelled to sue for succor, Fair, in
either contingency, is to-day the hap
piest man in San Francisco. 1t is the
strongest trait in his character to delight
in being regarded as the winning card in
any undertaking.
This change BODIES no evil to the Ne.
vada Bank and financial matters in San
Francisco generally. 1t is as strong
with Fairs added millions as it has ever
been.

IT A WIDOW.
The Elk p~ertence of q Writer VINO
has Sc Been There"

III ESAB
has Sc Been There"
The editor of an exchange who evidently
knows a thing or two prints the follow
ing: There is any amount OF fun in counting
a yourg girl who has not become used to
it. She swallows all the soft things a
fellow says, but when il comes to pop
ping the question or something OF that
kind, she gets frightened more or less and
wants time to consider until there are
enough loopboles for her lover to slip out
through without the least bit of trouble,
il he happens to see some one he thinks he
could love q shade or two better. Young
girls are timid and shy in earnest, and II
a fellow is not pretty certain he has found
precisely the angel he is looking LOT, ne
can manage 80 as to have the refusal Of her
for a year or more, and at the same time
manage to keep bic neck out of the reach
of a breach of promise suit when he hap
pens to meet some other sweet-faced
sngel that seems to him to be better suited
to his tastes.
1t is different with a widow. She gets
rid of all her shyness at the earliest con-
SouAcut OPpOA tuhAtyt ohN
principal things she desires to know OF
him before she allows him to get &C
quainted. The schoolgirl of sixteen trusts
herself TO a fine young fellow on sixty
or ninety days sight without security; but
the widow, like a thrifty wholesale house
goes out and examines the mercantile re-
ports concerning him and then sells to him
on her own terms for cash. She has him
sized up before he comes to market, and
when she looks up as if she were q very
artless creature, and fights shy OF him
whenever he happens to sit a little close to
her on the sofa. there are ten chances to
one that he will never look any further,
but will buckle right up to her and pu,
the question fairly and squarely, and
when he has lone so she is not going to
tremble all over and blush and ask for a
week or q month in which to make up her
mind. She will just wind her arms
around his neck and look up into bis face
with one of Ella Wheeler's fiery yearns, and
before he has had time to catch his breath
he will find himself nailed to the cross
with a " yes that pierces him to his very
soul.

MIR. wOODBURN's DENIAL.

Not long since we clipped an article
from the Elko Independent, giving what
purported to be Congressman Wood
burns replies to certain interrogatories
sent out by the Arkansas Gazette, touch
ing his choice of a Presidential candidate
on the Republican side. In the answers
thus attributed to him he was for any.
body to beat Blaine, naming as his first
choice Edmunds or Conkling, or failing
in these, Allen G. Thurman, a Democrat,
as against the man from Maine. We re.
produced the item as a piece of live
news, and INDUCED in such comments as
the subject seemed to warrant. Among
other things we said:
Is Mr.. WOODBURY. meditating a return
to his first love-the Democratic party
Anyhow, he seems to be out of joint
with the current OF Republican thought
in his preference for a Presidential can.
didate.
We cared nothing about Mr.. Wood
burns choice or whether he had an
opinion or not, and never gave, and per-
haps would never have given, the subject
another thought. But the Enterprise,
in it's issue of last Sunday, takes the
matter seriously to heart, and intimates
that, as a Democrat, we have been at
tempting to place Mr.. WOODBURY. in a
wrong light before the Republican party.
If Mr.. Woodburn is a good enough Re.
publican for the Enterprise he is q good
enough one for us; we would not for
the world do anything to disrupt the
cordial party relation between the two;
it is none of u funeral, and we don't
care anything at all about il. AS Mr..
Clay or Webster or somebody else once
said, we would rather be right than
President. There is nothing mean about
us, and to demonstrate that there is not,
we give the Enterprise and Mr.. Wood.
burn the benefit Of their joint denial. to
the extent of the SRNTINEL's circulation,
az follows:
In order to set all worried Democratic
souls at rest on this point, the Enter
prise distinctly states upon the authority
of MI. Woodburn himself that the fore.
going item in the Independent is a pure,
senseless fabrication. He has never
given utterance to anything of the kind.
Ever since Blaine was brought before the
people as a Presidential candidate, Mr..
Woodburn has been p~ronouncedly for
him, first, last and all the time. He is
still q Blaine man, but as a true, loyal
Republican will cheerfully and uncom-
promisingly support the nominee of the
party, whether it be Blaine, Edmunds,
Conkling or anybody else.
There you are. Mr.. Woodburn EN-.
phatically denies that he is anti. Blaine,
and we have printed it broadcast through.
out Eastern Nevada. Could magnanimity
60 further! The Enterprise never did
as decent a thing as this in the whole
course of it's existence.

A red headed girl was about to get aboard
the cage to descend into the shaft of q
Breeze Hill mine In Leadville, Colorado,
when the superintendent cried out
"Take her off No red-headed girl can &C
down this shaftl" Upon being asked his
reason for thus boycotting red-headed
girls, the superintendent said he had a pc.
culiar superstition that the red headed
girls and white horses were omens of i'll
luck. He remembered one time in Neva'
da when a red.headed girl went down q
shaft and when the miners saw her they
thought the workings were on fire. In the
stampede that followed thirteen men were
killed and a number wounded. The girl
escaped.

BILE of sustaining and raising large
families and of making happy homes
as ever" To stop the exodus from
the country to the great cities and the
West requires that farming should be
made to pay. " We must be pro-
tected from the horde of immigrants
that are crowding in upon u.s." The
writer adds: "The prosperity of this
section, with its millions of people and
money, is of vastly more consequence
to me than the interests of an equal
number of foreigners and an equal
amount of foreign capital. Protection
will not protect unless it takes cog
nizance of this state of things with a
view to its remedy" But he does not
make it perfectly clear how foreign i'm
migration has operated to produce the
present condition of things. There are
other factors in the problem that are
not to be lost sight of.

Congressional DOings.

Though congress has been in session
a week since the termination of the
holiday recess. it has tran sacted but
little business of general interest. The
senate has passed bills to settle and adj
lust the claims of any state for expenses
incurred by it in defence of the United
States, giving a pension to both Mrs.
Logan and Mrs. Blair, and to carry
into effect the treaty with China for
the suppression of the opium traffic.
The house has passed the senate bill
providing for the allotment of lands in
severalty to minors and orphans of the
Sac and Fox and Iowa Indian tribes,
and the S76 ,000, 900 pension appropria-
ton bill. The senate has resumed de-
bate on the interstate commerce bill.
Senator Platt of Connecticut made a
long speech in opposition to the anti
pooling features of the bill and in
sisted that they should be modified.
He claimed that the prohibition OF
pooling would have the effect to give a
bankrupt road, for instance, all the adj
vantages. A bankrupt road is not par
ticularly solicitous about its debts OF
interest and mainly cares to earn enough
to pay its running expenses. This
bankrupt road may be competitor
with substantial trunk line, which has
its honest debts to pay and its credit tC
maintain. Yet the anti-pooling pro
vision will give the bankrupt compan.
the power to force the solvent road t.
adopt such competitive rates or lost
custom. Senator Morgan also opposed
the bill, chiefly on the ground that it
long and short-haul provision would in
lure the commercial interests of hi
state. On Monday Senator Beck spok
in favor of the bill. Senator Cullor
will ask the senate to-day to remain i
session long enough to take a vote o
the bill. He fears that too much tal
will kill it, and the people West are
clamorous for this legislation that tn
